Re: Clear Case and Cruise Control

Just as it was mentioned in a subsequent email regarding this topic, it
was mentioned to run an update command as the first part of your build
process,  you can run a rebase command just as easily as you can an
update command as part of your build process.  Update and rebase are
clearcase commands. Rebase integrates the latest changes associated with
the recommended baseline into the target stream, and update command
loads the version according to the config spec into the view.

Yes, that is correct we typically rebase off of our integration branch.
Can a rebase be performed as part of the Cruise Control build or does
this still have to be performed manually before the build kicks off? You
mention the update command, is that a field within Cruise Control?

You can run an update command as the first part of your build.  I'm
curious though as to why you use a dynamic view and then copy it to a
local directory.  A dynamic view is suppose to have the latest version
of the elements by virtue of the fact it use the MVFS functionality.  If
you use a snapshot view and then update the view, you will have the
latest code as of the time you perform the update. Also, sounds like you
are rebasing so I'm assuming that you are using a child stream with UCM
and then rebasing off of a baseline.

I am using Cruise Control version 2.8.3 with Clear Case. We are
performing timed builds. We copy the source from a dynamic view to a
local directory, then commence with the build. Is there a way to make
sure that I have the latest view automated through Cruise Control before
I copy to our local directories? I realize there is a plugin that
triggers a build when a change is made, but since we are using timed
builds I basically just need to make sure that my view is up to date and
was not sure if Cruise Control can kick off a rebase. 

Thanks
